Well.. mid October has brought a right bout of strong storms & heavy rain. The flower field took a bit of a battering in particular the polytunnel! Yes yes I know you growers out there will say well it was a budget friendly one and yes your right 🫣 one that was hopefully just going to see me through the season and to be ahead on next years flowers. It was braced with wood throughout and attached to a frame.. so I thought it would have been ok!

The quite annoying thing is, is that I had just dismantled my 10ft greenhouse to relocate so this is also in pieces 😢

You know what they say .. Keep Going!
Mission to plant more seeds this weekend

SOS! 🙏

Would anyone happen to know of any Polytunnel / greenhouse space available close to St Michaels to use on a temporary bases!

Storm Boelo decided to wipe out my polytunnel with all of next year’s young seedlings in. 😳

Looking for a small area for the time being or if anyone happens to have an unused poly / large greenhouse that they wouldn’t mind housing my seedlings 🙏

Photo just to make me happy again and to prove it will all be worth it!!

Autumn is the perfect time to top up your growing beds with manure to give it chance to settle in the ground over winter. Your growing area will then be ready to plant in to come Spring time.

You will often find bags of ready to go horse and alpaca manure outside the farm gate. Help yourself .. it’s free and good for the garden.

I’ve had the absolute pleasure to have contributed a very small part towards this project in Blackpool. Helping to create ‘The Dreamers’ from The Field of Dreams. Creations made from the crop that has been growing there this season.

You may have passed by the old football playing fields on Mereside (near the big tescos!) This year the field has sprung to life with a sea of wild flowers .. creating The Field of Dreams.

This Friday evening the field will come to life through a Lightpool project creating an immersive celebration of the season with lights bringing the creations to life.

Pop by if you can
6.30 - 8pm
Free to attend

CHEEKY!

As if these very peculiar looking tubers make the most beautiful flowers. growing starts way back in May, so it’s a long waiting game… but so worth it!

These monstrous looking things make the most gorgeous cut flowers for cutting throughout late summer & into autumn.
Such a statement flower!

All the prep was so worth it !

This month started with a lovely trip to for a Flowers From The Farm workshop. An inspirational day discussing and learning all about seasonal, plastic free farewell flowers.

Why do funeral flowers always come with so many non biodegradable parts?

Claire from demonstrated so well that farewell flowers can be fully eco friendly, natural, with sustainable floristry mechanics and still look amazingly beautiful.

From tied sheaves, wreaths and coffin sprays all created naturally with seasonal chemical free flowers.. a beautiful tribute for any loved one.

The use of British cut flowers or flowers gathered from a loved one’s garden to bring colour, scent and a relaxed tribute.

Another way in which locally grown, chemical free stems and flowers grown with so much care can be used. 💚

An inspiring and heartwarming day!

Time for an update .. What’s been happening in the flower field ! It has been a busy summer growing flowers, trying to keep them alive after the continuous mixed and the never ending jobs the flower field requires.. But we got there! Some flowers have looked beautiful, others not so good and it’s been a full on few months. But we wouldn’t have it any other way, sustainable flowers, chemical free, grown not flown.

Let’s do this all over again !
